Before You Start
- You will need to know where your existing drawing is located on your machine (where that project and drawings were saved)

Project File Structure
We will create a project folder wherever you selected and two subfolders:
- YourProjectName
- -Drawings
- -Project Databases
If you opted for SQL Server databases your Project Databases folder will be empty. This is normal since the database files reside on the server.
